Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, and Employment Judge I McFatridge issued a rule 22 judgment on the available material. The respondent, Kilgraston School Trust (in sequestration care of PWC), was ordered to pay the claimant, Mr C Campbell, £1,928.95 for unlawfully withheld wages, £7,541.68 for dismissal in breach of contract in respect of notice, and £7,700 for redundancy pay. A separate judgment was to be issued for the Protective Award head of claim.
The tribunal explained the calculations for each monetary award. The wages figure was based on £55,000 divided by 12, less £2,654.38 received from the Insolvency Service. The notice pay figure was based on 13 weeks' pay at £1,063.25, less £6,280.32 already received from the Insolvency Service. The redundancy payment was based on 15 weeks at £700, less £2,800 already received from the Insolvency Service.
The tribunal also found that Mr Campbell was unfairly dismissed, but it recorded that no compensation was due for that claim because he received a redundancy payment and, given the closure of the school, there was a 100% chance that he would have been dismissed in any event.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
